Instructions
 

  • Cook noodles to package specifications. (3-5 minutes in boiling water) Make sure not to overcook. Strain, rinse and let cool.
  • In a flat skillet with 2-3 cm (1 in), simmer water and gently place rice paper wrapper in liquid until becomes soft.
  • Remove from water/heat and assemble on a separate plate, cutting board or counter-top. Make sure surface is wet and does not cause paper to stick to that surface.
  • Add all desired ingredients and wrap burrito style, allowing rice paper to stick to itself and make a nice, soft, casing.
  • Practice makes perfect! Have fun and enjoy!
